Bella's POV

Edward took a deep breath and then began to tell me what happened.

"I was sitting in Emmett's room, waiting for him to come back with his English book that was in your room. I was starting to wonder what he was doing because he had been in there for a good five minutes already and I wanted to get started on the English project. I sat there waiting for Emmett and then suddenly, he came running into his room and his face was a mask of pure horror mixed with rage. I looked at him confused, but he just grabbed my arm and bolted to the door and into his jeep. He started up the car before I had even closed the passenger side door."

Edward's face had a look of distant horror and I could only imagine what Emmett's face must have looked like, but he continued, "Emmett was going faster than I have ever seen him drive and his speed was even making me nervous, not to mention the fact I had no idea why we were going this fast or where we were even going. Finally, I could not take it anymore and asked him
what was going on." Edward took a deep breath to compose himself, loosened his death grip on the chair and once again continued.

"Emmett looked at me for a while and seemed to be struggling to find the words to say, which scared me even more because Emmett always talks and talks, so I knew that there was something bad that had left him speechless."

Edward finally looked up at me and then looked back down. He seemed to be struggling

"And then Emmett tossed a book into my lap. I looked at the cover and it said "DON'T TOUCH ME!" I read a couple of the entries and saw all the things that Phil had done to you and your mother."

I was in pure shock; I knew Emmett had read it, but I never knew Edward had. Edward seemed to be shaking with anger now just remembering that night. While the night was not a happy memory, I have to say in a weird way, I loved the fact that Edward cared this much.

"Bella, I am sorry for reading those entries but I am even sorrier that you had to go through all that. Reading those entries broke my heart and all I wanted to do was punch someone. And then I read farther that night and found out what Mike did to you and suddenly so many things about you made sense to me. First thing was the reason why you always wanted to know what time everyone was getting to Charlie's house and why you seemed so stressed until we gave you a time. You did it because you needed to have dinner ready or else you thought you were going to be beaten. The next thing I realized was you always slept in your closet."

Edward finally looked up at me and we made eye contact. We held it for a
while, then Edward looked back down at the floor and continued.

"I saw Phil's house coming into view and I did not even wait for Emmett to come to a stop. I jumped out of his still moving jeep and bolted towards the door. I tried to open the door but it was locked and before I could turn around to try and think of another way in, I heard a loud smash and then glass shattering. I looked and saw Emmett had rammed into a window and busted it open and was now proceeding to climb though the window. I quickly followed Emmett and then ran up the stairs where I heard the sound of banging. Emmett was a little ahead of me and then I heard Emmett's loud booming voice yelling and I was quickly at his side. Emmett pulled Phil off of you and you were bleeding everywhere. You seemed to have cuts all over your body. I quickly ran to you and grabbed you using a sheet to cover you up. I ran from the room with you in my arm and left Emmett beating the crap out of Phil. Once I got to the Jeep, I put you down. I realized you had already passed out. I looked over your cuts and knew that I had to take you to a hospital right away because of the amount of blood you were losing. I could not drive you myself because someone needed to hold the sheet tight or else you might bleed out on the way to the hospital, so I locked the doors to the jeep and took off running inside and upstairs to Emmett.

"I yelled at Emmett that we needed to go, but he would not listen. He responded saying 'No! I need to kill this worthless piece of **!' He said it with such venom in his voice that I was scared. So I explained how we needed to take you to the hospital or else you were going to bleed to death. When I said that, I saw his eyes widen with fear and then he dropped an almost
dead Phil on the ground and took off running towards the jeep."

"Once we got you to the hospital, we called your dad and he sent cops over to the house, but once he got there," and then Edward's tone changed and his head hung low as he said, "Phil wasn't there. They never did find him. I am so sorry Bella for not telling you that sooner, but I didn't want to upset you..."
I wasn't angry with him. No, I was completely and over the top filled with joy because I could trust Edward! I smiled and leaned over to him and hugged him. He didn't see me coming and was completely startled when he felt my arms wrap around him, but I didn't care.

"I don't get it Bella."

"You told me the truth, even though you didn't want to, you told me and...and I can trust you...no one has been so honest with me!" I said, truly chipper and considering what he just told me he must have thought I was nuts.

"So Bella, what's going on with you? You know you can trust me now. Please tell me what's going on. I can help you," he pleaded.

I took a deep breath and my happy attitude was gone. My face had changed to a distressed one.

"Phil killed my mother...not a bear or wild animal. It was Phil."
"Bella you don't rea-" but I cut Edward off.

"No, I don't really think it was him...I know it was Phil...because he left a note and a phone with my mother's body."

"Wait, a phone? Why would he leave a phone?" Edward questioned.

I stood up and walked to my book case and picked up the dictionary. I flipped to the page that had the definition of monster on it and took out the note Phil had left me and then handed it to Edward.

Once Edward had finished reading and dropped the note, he quickly scooped me up into his arms. I began to cry silently into Edward's chest.

He pulled me back so I could see his face and then he said, "Bella, how could you not tell anyone? What has Phil been making you do? Bella, you don't deserve this. Why would you not tell anyone? I don't understand."

"Because...because he said he would hurt someone I loved and I couldn't let that happen. That's why you can't tell anyone what is going on..."

"Bella, you don't expect me to just sit by while this man kills people and abuses you, do you?"

"But you promised. And he isn't doing anything to me. He hasn't called that phone since he left it."

"Bella, be reasonable. You have to tell your dad and let the police handle this."

"You saw how well it went the last time the 'Police' handled Phil. He got away and I can't have another person's death on my conscience!" I began to cry again. Edward quickly grabbed me into a hug.

My back leg was touching the edge of the bed and I started to feel a slight vibration through it. I immediately tensed up. Edward must have felt or heard it too because he quickly snatched it off the bed and answered it before I could stop him.

"Hello?" he said in a tense and serious voice. I froze...he was talking to Phil and that meant that Phil knew I told.

"Listen here you f***ing A**hole you better stay the hell away from Bella. If I so much as find a strand of your disgusting hair so much as even floating in the air near Bella, you will regret the day you took your first filthy breath-" and then Edward hung up.

Yea Bella trust Edward but will she after this...will Bella be happy about what Edward said to Phil or will she freak out....you won't know until...duh duh duh next chapter! Well tell me what you think of this chapter...I am not sure if I hate or love it...but as always I love to hear what you guys think and I have not been getting a lot of feedback recently...so I have no clue if you guys hate it or like it or what....oh and I think I am going to get rid of learning to trust and just add it to Don't touch me cause I don't think this story is going to be going on for much longer...but that's up to u guys...so please review and thanks for reading!
